Stick to the dream of success. Case 2: Wu Xiubo
In 2002, he was a singer in a company. One day, the company contacted a radio station in Shanghai to promote his new single "May War", and he was overjoyed. The company said that the other party would not bear the cost, and he said, I will pay for it myself.
He is Wu Xiubo, 34 years old. My wife is pregnant and my bank account is almost zero. Before the age of 30, I performed in the China Railway Art Troupe. Because I often ate and slept during the day and went to nightclubs at night, I finally had to resign. After my resignation, I took part in a vocal music class in Gu Jianfen through my business. Like all unknown artists who long for their dreams to come true, he dare not ignore opportunities.
This radio program is unremarkable. Later, Wu Xiubo ran into his friend Liu Bei. Liu Bei invited him to eat a meal, which cost him more than 700 yuan. This price was sky-high for cash-strapped Wu Xiubo at that time.
At this time, the company contacted him with a variety show of a TV station, and people may not record it. Wu Xiubo decided to take a chance, Liu Bei said? Then I will accompany you to listen to your recording. ?
Liu Bei was already a very popular movie star. After coming to the studio, the host threw a sentence at Wu Xiubo? Wait, I finally recorded you? And walked away. The eagle-eyed staff found Liu Bei. When the host appeared again, that smiling face made Wu Xiubo unforgettable. ? Haibo? The host called him. ? My name is Wu Xiubo. ? Oh, Su Bo Su Bo? The host smiled awkwardly. Tell Liu Dawei to put her on our show, 50,000! ? This is a number that makes Wu Xiubo feel complicated. Crustily walked up to Liu Bei, who refused: I came to listen to a friend's recording, not to be on the show. ?
When the music started again, Wu Xiubo sang his own "War in May": In every dark and lonely night, I was always injured. I finally made a decision. At the moment I raised my precious white flag to you, these lyrics plunged into his heart like a knife. It was then that he decided to give up singing.
Wu Xiubo returned to the profession of actor. Although his second career as an actor didn't involve many scenes and heavyweight roles, Wu Xiubo took every filming as the end of the performance this time.
Starring in "Blue Contest", I started to lose weight because I was too fat. Eat only cucumbers and tomatoes or vegetables dipped in sauce every day, do 200 push-ups and 200 sit-ups, run 10 km and swim 3000 meters. After more than a month, he lost a full 32 pounds.
After losing weight successfully, a new movie came to the door and played the first hero Lei Ming in the "case investigation". There are many stars in his lineup: Liu Bei, Fu Biao and Liu Jinshan? With such a cast, Wu Xiubo has no doubt: after filming this drama, it will definitely be a hit! As a result, the news he waited for was: "Case Investigation" was not sold!
Actually, it's all right. It is even more difficult to shoot the TV series "Brothers Gate". At the beginning of the play, he didn't even have a complete script. Did he get it? About 26 episodes of the story outline? . At that time, he was still playing in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the two groups kept running around. At the peak, he didn't sleep for more than ten days. To make matters worse, his father died during that time, and the crew didn't give him a holiday at first.
? The job of an actor is so hard that I can't stop crying when I go back to my room to take a shower after filming every day. ? However, in spite of this, he persisted. It was not until dawn that he became popular. This kind of red is like a persimmon beaten by frost in winter, and it hangs heavily on the branches of the small rope overnight. In an instant, he surpassed the concept of a first-line star and became a person on a par with Chen.
Now Wu Xiubo, as a popular actor, is still quiet no matter how busy he is. For him, all the honors are just the result of continuous efforts, and success is nothing more than concentration without regrets. So he didn't have such words:
Life is a process of self-cultivation, and every day may be the last. What I need to do is to put my work into my life safely.
Case study of people who persist in their dreams of success 3: Marquette
Marquette has been selling girl scout cookies since Andrew was 7 years old, and his sales have exceeded $80,000. The best salesman in the world today doesn't care whether you call her or not. Little girl? . Every day after school, she sells cookies from door to door. After several years of exercise, the shy little girl became a sales expert. /kloc-When she was 0/3 years old, she discovered the secret of marketing. It all started with a dream.
Marquette Andrew's mother is a waitress in a restaurant in new york, USA. Dad left her mother and daughter when she was 8 years old. Marquette lives alone with his mother. Although they live in poverty, they have a dream: to travel around the world together.
? I am working hard now so that you can go to college. ? One day, her mother said to her, after you graduate from college, you can earn money for us to travel around the world together, ok?
/kloc-When she was 0/3 years old, she read a message in Girl Scouts magazine that the winner who promoted Girl Scouts cookies the most would get a prize: two free tickets to travel around the world. So, she decided to try her best to be the best seller.
However, it is not enough to have a dream. Marquette Andrew knows that to realize this dream, there must be a plan.
? Be professional and put on your uniform. ? Uncle told her,? You should dress like that when doing business. When you arrive at someone's door at 4: 30 or 6: 30, especially on Friday night, ask them to buy more of your goods. Whether they buy or not, they should keep smiling and respect customers. Also, the most important point is: don't say let them buy your cookies, but ask them to invest. ?
Of course, there must be many boy scouts who want to win these two free tickets, and there must be many boy scouts who have their own plans. But only Marquette? Andrew insists on putting on the boy scout uniform after school, and is going to go door-to-door to invite people to invest in her dream.
? Hi! Hello! I have a dream. I want to earn two free tickets by selling boy scout cookies, so that my mother and I can travel around the world. ? She would stand at the door and say, do you want to buy a dozen or two cookies?
That year, Marquette? Andrew sold 3526 boxes of boy scout cookies and won two free air tickets to travel around the world. Since then, she has sold 42,000 boxes of scout cookies and made many speeches at sales conferences in the United States. Her legend has been made into a Disney movie, and she is one of the two authors of a best-selling book that tells people how to sell cookies, apartments, Cadillac cars, computers and everything else.
Marquette is no smarter or more outgoing than thousands of other young or old dreamers. The difference is that she found the secret of sales: constant questioning and perseverance. Many people fail even before they start selling, because they don't have the courage to ask for what they really want. Fear of rejection leads many of us to reject ourselves before we have a chance? Whatever we sell.
Actually, everyone is selling it. ? You sell yourself every day? Sold to school teachers, company bosses and people they just met. ? /kloc-marquette, 0/4 years old, said that my mother is a waitress. She sells special dishes in the restaurant every day. Are the mayor and the president selling themselves by canvassing? I sell them everywhere. Doing business is a part of the world. ?
People need courage to ask for what they really want. Having courage does not mean not being afraid, but overcoming fear and persisting in doing it. Marquette found that the later you get it, the more you insist on it, and the more relaxed and interesting the whole process will be.
Once, in a live TV broadcast, the producer decided to embarrass her with the most difficult promotion. Marquette was asked to sell her scout cookies to the audience at the scene.
? Are you willing to invest in a dozen or two scout cookies? She asked.
? I don't even want to buy it. ? He said,? I'm a federal prison guard. Every night, I have to settle 2000 rapists, robbers, murderers and child abusers and let them sleep quietly. ?
Marquette calmly retorted:? Sir, if you had some boy scout cookies, you wouldn't be so angry and upset. Besides, sir, I think your job will be easier if you can bring some boy scout cookies back to all 2000 prisoners. ?
Finally, the prison guard signed a check.
